Please fix the Valkyn Skoria monster set

KrokHunta · August 2022

It seems that still after 1-2 years this set is not working properly. For context, what used to happen was that the meteor symbol would appear, but would not fire at all. Scriptors abused this and primarily in PvP would unleash all the meteors in one bursty swoop just demolishing people, as the game had the meteors still 'appearing' just not landing. This caused a ban wave but ZoS said they would fix it. Year(s) later, it still does not work. It currently:
Fires on the first circle. Any fires after that do not land, and instead the 'circle' that appears just disappears after a short while. Please fix this. Valkyn Skoria is one of the OG masks and arguably one of the best looking ones, up there with Bloodspawn. Don't diss the drip, please FIX IT.

Yeah I'm surprised it's never been addressed how this monster set is straight up bugged. I always see the meteor ring all the time but the meteor never fires at all.

Set seriously needs to be looked at

I was using this on some dummies just now and the animation never played but the dummies still took its damage.]

Not sure if that is at all related to the behavior described by the OP but I did think that it was strange. Something odd is going on for sure with this set.

It's not only this set that has this problem, maybe a lesser known overland set "Red Mountain" has a similar issue. While the initial Volcanic animation plays about 90% of the time, the lobbing missile animation plays less than 20% of the time usually only at targets closet to the Volcanic eruption. It's hilarious watching another target 25 meters away get smacked by an invisible 16k damage.

I've also noticed that Magma Incarnate doesn't work sometimes unless you deslot one piece and reslot it.

The proc wouldn't happen until I had done this (using dressing room -> all pieces active and on)

I used to love this set when it worked with fire trebs. You could see the meteor coming down off in the distance on a player.

I will make sure this gets looked at after I show ZoS how to abuse this set with a simple Script in my upcoming video

nice lol

Sucks this helm set is not getting looked at though, I still see people trying to use it in PVP with no real impact. It's actually a relief though since it has the same animation as the mage's guild ulti, to not get hit with an actual ult- the least the can do is change the color.

Honestly they wanted to get a "hold" of this magical "power creep" and now 95%? maybe 100% of the monster helms are nothing compared to what they use to be. Until there are different minds behind the decisions of these helms, don't expect much. I don't.

Even when Valkyn Skoria last worked it wasn't worth the 8-10? sec cool down and very weak damage (talking PvE) so as with many, if not all items in ESO over time become useless items taking up space in your inventory.

It's a cycle they have found and I assume like, DLC releases with items that are best, New DLC and the older items get nerfed \ changed etc useless , rinse and repeat. yay! live service?? I guess *shrugs*
